00:00Good evening from Photography Stadium. It's finished Aberdeen 2, Shakhtar Donetsk 3.
00:06A real rip-snorter of a conference league clash on the opening night here in the North East.
00:11Aberdeen so shot-shy domestically scored not once but twice against the lustrous opposition from Ukraine
00:19but ultimately fell just short against the side littered with Brazilians.
00:24They played some really good football and at times made Aberdeen look very, very ordinary
00:28but then it's critical to Salim's men. They stuck at it, took an early lead through Jessica Carlson's penalty.
00:35Fell 3-1 down before the hour mark and at that point it can't appear to them in the wind and difficult conditions here in the North East.
00:42But Nicky Devlin scored for 20 minutes to go to set up a grandstand finish and actually they look the most likely team to score.
00:49Rudolph for most of this season Aberdeen fans cheered them at the end.
00:52It's given them something to build on when they go back to Premiership Football on Sunday when they take on Dundee
00:58and what is a must-win match.
01:00And today's performance against Shakhtar takes some of the heat of Jimmy Tallinn and his players.
01:06They'll hope to build on it when they take on Dundee on Sunday.
01:09Defeat for that for Aberdeen on the opening night of this competition.
01:12We've got something to build on.
01:13It finished here.
01:14Aberdeen 2, Shakhtar Donetsk 3.
